per Randy:
They crisscross the country, wooing teenagers, trying to impress their parents and talking up their programs in hopes of landing that coveted four-star recruit.
P.J. Fleck is part of this fraternity, and Wednesday, as college football’s three-day early national signing period begins, the Gophers coach will get a look at where his recruiting sits.
The conclusion: Overall, quite strong, with room to improve locally.
Fleck is expected to sign 23 players to national letters of intent for his Class of 2019, and the recruiting-focused website 247Sports.com has the Gophers’ class ranked No. 33 nationally and eighth among Big Ten teams in its composite of major national recruiting services.
That’s a solid follow-up to Minnesota’s 2018 class, which ranked No. 30 after the first day of the early signing period and settled at No. 38.
The last time Minnesota had two consecutive top-40 recruiting classes came in 2008-09, when Tim Brewster signed the No. 26 and No. 35 class, respectively.
During the Jerry Kill/Tracy Claeys era, the Gophers’ rankings ranged from No. 46 to No. 67.
